Our manual to electric conversion service in Peterborough
Work in Peterborough starts with a free survey: we measure the opening, check what the box and guides will fix to, and confirm the power supply.
Converting a manual shutter in Peterborough to electric depends on the curtain, barrel and guides being in good condition, so we check them before quoting.
We survey and install across Cambridgeshire, and Peterborough is one of the cities covered. Stamford, March and Spalding are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
